Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When a druggist violates his bond, the proper damage, we suppose, would be just the loss sustained by the state by reason of such breach; and as the law makes the acts which constitute a breach of the bond a criminal offense, and subjects the druggist to fine or imprisonment, we suppose the loss to the state would be just the amount of the costs and expenses necessarily incurred in the prosecution of the druggist for his violation of the law, together with the costs and expenses necessarily incurred in enforcing the judgment, whether the judgment be for a fine or for imprisonment, and also the fine itself, if that should be imposed upon the druggist.””
